I’ve spent lockdown helping at a food bank reveals Cameron
DAVID Cameron has said he spent lockdown volunteering at a food bank and cooking for his family.
The ex- Tory prime minister said while his wife Samantha was trying to save her fashion business Cefinn he held the fort at home and volunteered for a couple of days a week.
He told Times Radio yesterday: “My wife was battling hard to save and promote her fashion business, I was working less than that.
“So I cooked all the meals. I do my best to keep the place provisioned, a bit of home schooling, but that wasn’t my strong point.
Red- faced
“And I worked for the Chipping Norton Food Bank one or two days a week, which was great to do something to help people who were really isolated and stuck at home.”
Mr Cameron, 53, who promoting the paperback publication of his book For The Record, also admitted he was left red- faced by the memoir from Sasha Swire a member of his trusted circle.
Lady Swire’s blistering journal of political feuds and friendships during Mr Cameron’s premiership includes a claim he joked her was
perfume made him want to push her into the bushes and “give you one”. The wife of the former Tory MP Sir Hugo Swire said Mr Cameron “talks a lot about sex” and suggested he is
typical of a type of Englishman who becomes “lewd” because they “no longer know how to flirt”.
Diary Of An MP’s Wife also includes unflattering stories about major figures including George Osborne, Michael Gove and his wife Sarah Vine, as well as Boris Johnson.
Asked about the bushes sex claim,
Mr Cameron said: “I don’t recall that conversation. Of course it’s kind of... it’s embarrassing when you have things you say in private and do in private sort of splashed all over the place and of course you’d rather that didn’t happen.
“I suppose the truth is that if you want respect for your privacy
and people not questioning your character and private life and all the rest of it, then politics probably isn’t the career for you.”
In a swipe at Mr Johnson, he said he “didn’t fear the tall poppies” during his premiership and US President Donald Trump “drives him mad” a lot of the time.
